She may need to increase her sodium intake to compensate for the loss through the ileostomy. What does her doctor say?

My sodium was low on a blood test where I had been sick, not eating but drinking too much water. Said I was diluted. They had me cut down on water, and add other beverages. Also had me eating salty foods. It did return to normal.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
